God Hates The World Music Video

December 5th 2007 03:47
This is too sad. Is it true?

The Westboro Baptist Church, the same ones that thinks that "the Iraq war is America’s punishment for tolerating homosexuality.", recently lost an $11 million lawsuit, getting sued for picketing a slain soldier's funeral.

They sound like lunatics, but I was never sure if the media was reporting everything objectively.

Well, today, the Westboro Baptist Church released a music video, parodying the classic love-all song, We Are The World, changing it to God Hates The World.

Hmmm... Michael Jackson's collaborative effort to raise awareness for poverty in Africa, rewritten to announce that we're all going for hell. Why are we going to hell? Sorry, don't know. You just are. Enjoy!

The video is notable for being lacklustre in performance, and the shirts promoting hatred.

This is not good.

You know how Americans like to refer to their country as 'The World'?

In that context I totally agree...

I haven't actually read anything about the Westboro Church until now... it seems like an awfully extreme interpretation of Christianity... I can't imagine any religious leader using the words 'God hates...'

It is a sad testament (pun intended!) of American society that some moron bigot can get control of a religious group to further their own twisted psychopathic agendas.

And then they have the unmittigated gall to stand up preaching about God, love and enlightenment!!!

If there is to be a 'rapture", a la the Bible's "Revelation", and God comes down to judge everyone, I want a front row seat to watch these purveyors of hate get their just desserts!

Sharpen the pitch forks you little imps!!

cheers

Just because this clip is from an American church doesn't mean that's the only place this can happen. We have similar extremists in Australia, though they may not have put out a music video.

Where do I sign up.
I want to infiltrate them then take over.
In six months time I'll be running this cult.

Then again they sing like crap.
This is surely the devils music.

also from rickross.com

The church's membership is largely made up of direct family and relatives. Phelps has 13 children and more than 50 grandchildren.

It won't last long.

I thought god loved everyone, and instructed Christians to 'love thy enemy'.

Ah well, they just have their own extreme interpretations of it, just be happy they number in the tens.

Goo, I can't even believe that people took the time out to write that crap yet alone SING IT...it's rediculous!!

Umm since when is god a woman or is that the earth is a woman? *sigh* I'm lost in confusion and ya know what I refuse to even waste my time trying to figure that load of bs out.

I will admit I was amused at how stupid they were until the very end with the small girl who was probably about 3. Then I was pissed off.

When I tried to show it to my friend - it didn't work. I think they just took the video off the internet right after I watched it.
